The paper reviews past progress in the development of methods and models for process
safety and risk management and highlights the present research trends; also it outlines the …

The index-based approach is one of the most popular ways to measure the inherent safety
degree of a chemical route or process during the early design stages. One of the main …

How far will an ounce of prevention really go? While the answer to that question may never
be truly known, Process Plants: A Handbook for Inherently Safer Design, Second Edition …

The design of sustainable energy systems requires to enlarge the analysis beyond the
traditional boundaries for including the economic, environmental, and societal needs and …

An inherently safer approach is becoming a key parameter of process and plant design.
However, a lack of established guidelines and methods hinders most industries from …

Occupational health studies the interaction of work and health, especially the long-term
effect of chemicals to health. In this paper an Inherent Occupational Health Index has been …

The fundamental concept of quantification of inherent safety level is based on the ranking of
chemical process routes. Three pioneering inherent safety indices (ie PIIS, ISI and i-Safe) …

In the current practice, safety assessment is conducted once the process design has been
completed. At this stage of design, the freedom to change the conceptual design is very …

The search for cheaper feedstock for use in the production of biofuels such as biodiesel has
turned attention to various forms of waste products including animal fats, waste oils and now …

Inherent safety should be implemented as early as possible in the design life cycle, since the
changes in process design are easier and cheaper the earlier they are done. The problem …
